Responding to Tragedy: Truths for Uncertain Times

As we enter a new year, we're reminded that the world's challenges persist, including terrorism and tragedy. This message delves into Luke 13:1-3, where Jesus addresses such events. He teaches us six crucial truths: three unequivocal and three universal. Among these, we learn that terrorists are cowards, God will ultimately punish evil, and our physical life is short and uncertain. Yet, amidst these sobering realities, we're called to find comfort in God's eternal word and love. The message challenges us to examine our hearts, recognizing that we're all sinners in need of repentance. It's not about why bad things happen, but whether we're right with God. As we reflect on these truths, we're encouraged to deepen our faith and prepare our hearts, for we never know what tomorrow may bring.
